Update: she's just made it to a higher level.

I've got an old piece of crap bookshelf that needs to be removed from my sight, but as I don't have the physical strength to drag it to the bins shed myself or the cash to ask the recycling centre folks to take it away, it's been standing there for a week. I chucked my velvet skirts into it to hide them from the cat since there's no room in my ( Read more... )

Before the neighbours turn me into a complete wreck again, I need to point out today has been full of three wonderful cats I love from the bottom of my heart:

-cavefelem came over and much deep chatting and fleamarketry and joy were had (I still insist she needs a medal for all the work she has done for my sanity by just existing and also, did I mention ( Read more... )

-Uncontrollably excited about Christmas telly:3 I saw a proper trailer for Spies of Warsaw and it actually looked like it could be, you know, not shit. And even if it turns out to be crap, it looks like there's a ridiculous amount of scantily clad Dave prettiness, so that's good. There were bits where I really went "DAMN" at the screen, which is a ( Read more... )

-Just when you thought nobody painted beautiful, old-fashioned paintings any more, along comes Italian Roberto Ferri. His works are a gorgeous mix of Baroque and Symbolism with exquisite chiaroscuro and sometimes disturbing imagery. What I really, really love about this work is that it truly is timeless--a lot of the supposedly old-fashioned art ( Read more... )

This is how Noki sleeps on the windowsill/chair back. Floppede, and with a paw over her eyes to keep the sunlight out:3 I finally managed to sneak close enough to snap a photo. Click for bigger:)

You should've heard Noki just now. :3 She was rolling around in a beam of spring sunlight and making yakkity and chirpy noises at me from across the room. She was writhing in ecstasies and kept telling me how fantastic it felt. "You're enjoying the sunshine, I see." "Cjak cjak!" "It feels great on your tummy, does it?" "YAK YAK." *rolls around and ( Read more... )

This is something that happens here every day. Or, well, *several* times a day, in fact.

Woken up after four hours of sleep by a cat dragging her bum across the sheets to dislodge a poo. :P After all the mopping and sheet-changing and washing the bum of a shrieking, flailing 20-pound cat, I couldn't get back to sleep again, so here I am. And now the damn cat is just happily purring next to me as if nothing had happened. *eyeroll ( Read more... )

Noki's possibly developed an allergy to the food she was on, so when Dad was in Helsinki the other day, he grabbed a bag of some new hypoallergenic, high-protein kibble. When I said "oh, cool, that's small enough to fit in my rucksack, lemme carry it" he stopped me and shook his head and laughed. "Dream on. I'm coming in to open the bag myself. I ( Read more... )
